Image description

China / Tibet: Tibetan soldiers accompanying the Dalai Lama (front, centre, black robe) during the latter's flight from Tibet in 1959. At the outset of the 1959 Tibetan uprising, fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama and his retinue fled Tibet with the help of the CIA's Special Activities Division, crossing into India on 30 March 1959, reaching Tezpur in Assam on 18 April.
